Why work with the New Moon? The elegant, but simple answer is that manifesting your dream, wish, intention “seeds” at this particular time, supercharges them. When an eclipse occurs, there is even more attention placed on what you are desiring in your life. Every experience is about recognizing the energetic flow, and patterns which embody the essence of life.

Specifically, when we invite the sign of Aquarius to the party, and we have both the Moon and Sun as guests, it’s time to share our hopes, dreams, and visions with our tribes, communities, friends, and social connections. Are you ready to look into the future? Well, with Moon in Aquarius, this is the perfect opportunity to see what life is offering you.

Go ahead, have a “New Moon dream seed planting party”. Personally I’m doing a lot with my tarot and oracle cards, as I integrate them into my astrology work. The cards (as seed connections) can be used to help you understand your own personal New Moon house position.

By the way, where is this New Moon and eclipse in Aquarius positioned in your chart? Also where is its' planetary guide/ruler, Uranus positioned? This planet is often linked with movement of “sudden happenings and life changes”. Now is the time to learn how to flow with this mega-charged energy.

Mooncasting with this powerful Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse is being called a “Blue Super Moon”. Who is She? Why is She causing people to turn cartwheels? Just go out tonight and look at the Moon’s brilliant light. " How are you shining your light into the world life”?

By the way, the Moon is not “blue”. This is a metaphor, a figurative way of indicating a rare occurrence. Astrologically there are no blue moons, except in the famous song, “Blue Moon”.

For us, this rare celestial event is having two full moons in a month, with this second one having the added feature of being part of a lunar eclipse. We started the 2018 New Year with Full Moon in Cancer. When we speak of Cancer, we’re recognizing the very essence and roots of life. The aspects of emotional connection to the mothering archetype, and principle of how everything comes into manifestation.

Here's a brief excerpt from a blog that gives a description of a lunar eclipse: "The Lunar Eclipse is like an energetic time continuum. It is a portal between our conscious outer self, and the Moon which provides a light beam into the collective unconscious realm.

Specifically, each one of us has an area in our lives, as revealed through the astrological chart, where we need to understand our essential pattern of emotional connection and expression of receiving and giving emotional support, through care to self and others Below is an excerpt from my previous blog, that talks about understanding the sign of Cancer, and a bit about the 4th house.

“This first 2108 Full Moon cycle, was really about allowing ourselves to experience our feelings and reactions to what gives us emotional security, nurturing, and mothering. The sign of Cancer is also connected to recognizing those instinctive responses about the hidden, and often unconscious parts of self. The beginning of this year, started with questioning and asking,“ what do I need to understand about myself, fromthe “mother root” of my being". The lunar wisdom, understanding, and awareness can only be discerned from going into the deepest parts of the yourself.” www.soulsoundinsights.com/blog/mooncasting-predict-your-future-super-moon-2018

Yes, you can predict your own future! What we need is a bit of quiet, and the willingness to trust that we each have the answers, to our life questions and soul quests. What part of your life needs some light?

How is it that we each have the ability to predict the future? The Moon in your astrology chart is the aspect of self that is wired for deep intuitive and inner self knowing. Now here we are, sitting on the first day of 2018. This is a particularly, “auspicious” (love this word) Super Moon in the sign of Cancer. The the keyword for the Full Moon is, “Release” what no longer serves your well-being, and soul expression!

The major lunar theme of the collective society, is pointed directly at the rise and resurgence and balancing of the collective divine feminine energy with the sacred masculine. There have been and will continue to be, many signals which indicate an evolutionary change is happening throughout the world.

Women and men, alike are being called upon to recognize and realize the deepest worth and value of every person.

Here we are, the last New Moon of 2017. Sagittarius is the sign of the Teacher who desires to impart a clear voice to whatever is being revealed. Since this is the Dark Moon, we see all kinds of indicators about what has been hidden, coming to the "proverbial light".

One of the biggest revelations that's occurring, is bringing us face to face with the re-emergence of the Femininearchetype. With all gender types, there’s a restless shaking of our collective (sub)consciousness, and loosening the shackles of mental, emotional, and psychic confinement of lies, wounding, and untruths, which are rising into collective awareness. An essential question surrounding every encounter these days, is "who" gets to determine each person's worth and value?

Sagittarius is a masculine inspired fire sign, guided by the planetary giant, Jupiter. This sign is all about taking direct action, and speaking the truth about whatever life situations we need to face.

As we leave 2017, last month in the New Moon Scorpio cycle, it's become clearer that all the “mess” which has been buried in the collective psyche, for many eons, is not going away. The many voices fueling the social media platforms, are part of the a major psychic cleansing and “truth-telling”.

Have you ever wondered how certain experiences and situations seem to happen over and over, and that things you really desire seem to elude your grasp. With only a couple of weeks left before the holiday season, there is much “wondering.” Will things be different this time?

Most of this wondering is connected to questions, pondering and reflecting about our relationships. Big on this list are family, work, friends, and social interactions that require some kind of reciprocal action. What if I give this, but don’t get that???

Lots of people secretly wish that they could find more ease and enjoyment as the year comes to a close. Here’s the truth: Only the calendar page changes. Whatever we are feeling won’t change unless, we decide to have a heart to heart talk with our inner wiseselves.

Yes, we can fulfill that secret wish for more ease, peace and joy. The question is, what "stuff" are you willing to release, in order to invite tranquility and inner freedom into your world?

Again the calendar year changes, and many well intention promises are made in our shiny new planners. Planning and making new year's “resolutions” get the endorphins rushing around, at least for a little while.

Can’t you just see them lighting up our brain cells. I imagine them riding on the “ makenew year's resolutions roller coaster”. Here they are screaming and laughing, and making us feel giddy and heady for a few weeks, until the new planner glow fades away.

P.S. I'm just sending this blog, because as I was about to post on Saturday my internet/phone connection went down. With the techie gremlins help, this New Moon cycle has caught my attention! Scorpio zapped me!

November 18th -December 17th is a power lunar cycle, beginning with New Moon in Scorpio. Here we are with the depth of emotional experiences and intense feelings that may not be wanted or desired??

Are you experiencing dreams, both sleeping and waking, where you feel as though you’re deep in the ocean?

Perhaps you have never heard of Scorpio being described as “fire in ice”. Scorpio is one of the water signs, but it's the kind of water that is fierce and powerfully intense. This is the sign of torrential rains which blow with hurricane force winds. This is the ocean waves that crash on the rocks. This is the sign where we find the rushing and cascading magnificence of beautiful waterfalls.

Scorpio is the opportunity to take a step into the experience of transforming places in your life which have no use, purpose or meaning anymore. This New Moon is the perfect time to choose just one thing that needs to be completely vaporized. Zap ! Don’t hold back. "Think out of the “box”!!!

Yes, of course, the question is “how do I know what to release”? Your astrological chart, “Life Map” provides wonderful direction and guidance. Where is your transiting moon positioned in your chart?

Here’s a real life example. My own natal birth position is Moon in Scorpio, so I get a double dose of intense Scorpio energy. Scorpio is on the cusp of my 6th house. I get to take a look at health, how I organize things in my life, I've got some major revamping to do.

Here we are with our Moon in the sign of earthy and steady Taurus. I have been listening closely and what I’ve been observing is that a number of other signs have been talking, especially about their feelings. What’s it all about?

This Moon in Taurus is very interesting because She is being prodded by her opposite sign of Scorpio, which is also visiting other planetary positions. This Full Moon is about re-energizing our lives by re-grounding our energies with purpose. Actually, what I’m sensing is an energy of finishing up and concluding things which have been in process during this year.

With this Taurus Moon and Sun in Scorpio, it appears that the essential question is “what am I feeling, and what can I do in a practical way to make changes?” For example, I have a project that needs my full attention. During much of October, including the New Moon in Libra lunar cycle, I kind of floated along, and my rode my “air cloud”.

What New Moon seed(s) are you planting? Over the course of the lunar cycle, Sept 19-20th through Oct. 18th, it's providing us with a powerful time for incubating, sprouting, budding and blossoming something new. Since we are in the astrological sign of Virgo we are being offered a major life and cosmic opportunity for deep growth, healing, self- revelation and giving service.

Here are five suggestions for using this time wisely.

Moon in Virgo is offering wisdom and insight on taking care of our health(body/mind, emotions, and spirit). This is the time to pay attention to the messages from your body. It’s important to be willing to listen from the inside out. Pick one new habit or attitude as a new point of focus. Perhaps learning a unique way to meditate that is tailored to your life.

Mercury in Virgo is about gaining clarity through establishing thinking and communicating with yourself and others in a open and realistic way. This may be the time to get a planner, diary or organizing system that works for you. Most all, speak your truth.

Venus in Virgo can bring beauty and functionality together. Along with the Moon, this is the perfect time to clear things which no longer have any use. Pass things on to others. This is being of service to others in a Virgo kind of way.

Mars in Virgo is about taking action on the changes we know that are needed. Mars is the guiding planet for Aries, planet of new beginnings. With the sign of Virgo, it’s about analyzing and putting the new system into operation. Mars likes action, no procrastinating here!

Find the house(s) where you have Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. This New Moon is a new beginnings one that works in a very grounded, and "let's get it done way". With the fall equinox occurring on Sept. 22, it's a magnificent time to declare your own Manifesto.
